Facts and practical information

Addington House, nestled in the historic precinct of Ryde in Sydney, Australia, stands as a testament to the colonial architecture and heritage of the 19th century. This Georgian bungalow, constructed in 1822, is one of the oldest surviving dwellings in the area, offering a glimpse into the domestic life of early Australian settlers.

The residence was built for James Stewart, a pardoned convict turned successful landowner, symbolizing the possibility of redemption and prosperity in the new colony. With its symmetrical façade, hipped roof, and surrounding verandahs, Addington House is an exemplary model of the architectural style of its era.

Now recognized as a property of historical significance, Addington House is listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register. The house is not only a relic of the past but also serves as a cultural venue, hosting various community events and educational programs that aim to preserve and interpret the rich history encapsulated within its walls.
